Vance has probably made many people lose the will to live…

Thank you for your leadership and courage. I wish more Democrats would stand up for our rights!

Human rights are not a distraction. You should be working to reunite families this Easter, not grandstanding for the extreme right. Californians deserve better.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Thank you @harvard.edu for standing up to tyranny and repurposing its website to remind us that research matters: www.harvard.edu

Rumeysa Ozturk: Free Speech is Not a Crime

Davis Square, Somerville

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I just hold this up.

Does she think it’s named after the university?

This is insane. Hegseth has to go.

I just read in Le Monde that the laptop and phone were not returned to the French researcher.

Yes! I want to know this too. It belongs to the French government research agency and the scientist is involved in space research. Did the laptop go straight to SpaceX?

Considering that this was a French space scientist who works for a government agency, I would like to know what happened to his confiscated work computer. Was it sent straight to Elon’s desk?

I think it’s not a coincidence that this person was a space scientist. Why did they confiscate his work computer? Doing corporate espionage for Elon?

Considering this happened to a French space researcher, it also makes me wonder if the US govt is engaging in corporate espionage for Elon…

Jon Stewart & Maria Ressa On the US’s Authoritarian Slide | The Weekly Show YouTube video by The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

This interview b/w Jon Stewart and Maria Ressa was the most depressing, enlightening, and hopeful podcast interview I've listened to in ages
No matter where you are, if you believe in a free and fair democracy, we must learn from The Philippines and Maria Ressa's experience

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

And some people like to learn publicly?

Who else would be willing to pay extra for a subscription to the @nytimes.com that does not include any writing by Ross Douthat?
